FM 2016 FLUT dark skin v2.3

Dark skin for FM 2016 regular career mode and widescreens (1920x1080).

Well, I know I said that the version 2.2 of FlutSkin was the last version for this season (FM16). However, I already should know that the edition of a skin is a “never ending story”…
Thus, I'm pleased to present you the version 2.3 of FLUTSkin Dark for FM16.

Once again, thanks to all FM fans and especially to all of the fantastic FM skinners who contribute a lot to produce the FLUTSkin as it is today since FM 2013.

Compatible with DF11, Scope and Cutout Faces.

Compatible with Backgrounds (however, some of them will not be shown, instead, the citypics will be displayed).

Released: 29 August, 2016

Resolution requirements

This skin was made to work properly in 1920x1080 full screen mode. As a result, some panels won’t work properly in other resolutions (and also in 1920x1080 windowed mode).

The changes (some of them are just minor changes) in this version are in the following panels:

Stadium Overview Panel
Game Processing
Calendar Popup Panel
Club General Panel
Nation General Panel
Team Report Panel
Manager Home Panel

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. In this pack I included a TUTORIAL PDF with instructions regarding the structure of your Graphics folder in order to view the citypics, the kits and the competition logos in player details and in title bar.

2. I also included a folder with the files you need to use in order to remove the attributes background boxes (you just have to place the files of that folder in the panels folder of the skin and overwrite the originals)

You can download the FOOTBALL MANAGER BACKGROUNDS SUPERPACK or the City Pics MEGAPACK v4.0 to further enhance the skin.

Hi alain marion: if you use the dark skin, place the file I post for rekoshooter in the fonts folder of the skin. Don't forget to clean the cache, and reload the game.

alain marion • 9 years ago

yes i use the latest version ( 1.4) and the problem still exists.
Flut • 9 years ago

Hi alain marion: thanks and happy new year!! In the 1.4 version that problem was fixed. Are you using the latest version of the skin?

alain marion • 9 years ago

Hey flut, happy new year and congratulations on your awesome skin. Just one little problem, the text of biographies doesn't show in the respective window. Any ideas?
Flut • 9 years ago

Hi Raja: What icon are you talking about?
Raja • 9 years ago

Nvm, Figured out! Deleted Star Rating folder from "graphics\icons\custom".
Is there a way to reduce the icon size in the Tactics screen? I tried modifying "tactics overview panel" but could not succeed. If i reduce the width, the role information goes missing.
Raja • 9 years ago

Flut,
Thanks for the new version.

How do I get back the STAR ratings? I love them so much than the dots.
dadaikata • 9 years ago

You solved this problem too, great! You rock Flut thanks a lot!
Flut • 9 years ago

Hi dadaikata: In my game that problem not arise because I also use the FC default kits. Then, everything is okay. If you want to solve that problem place THIS folder in the following path:

my docs/sports interactive/footbal Manager 2016/graphics/pictures

cheers
dadaikata • 9 years ago

Thanks Flut it worked! Last question, I have this problem on a lot of panels, like team of the week or match presentation... there is a "shadow" behind kits, a little bigger then the kits itself... is it kit related or skin related? Is there a way to fix it or not? Thanks for your support and your work Flut! https://postimg.org/image/v3kzhespx/
Flut • 9 years ago

hi dadaikata: Tanks.

Concerning your problem, I noticed that. As I use different logos, in my own game is okay. In order to adjust it you have to go to

player overview panel.xml and search for the code:

<container width="165" height="165" alignment="left,centre_y">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="0"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="bottom" inset="0"/>
<widget class="editable_client_object_property_panel" id="pnat" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="15"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/>

You can increase the value inset=”0” and, after that you can adjust the place where is the logo, changing the value inset=”15”
dadaikata • 9 years ago

Hei great skin so far! I have this problem on federation logos, under the player picture that I can't fix, have you got any idea? Thanks!

andreponsech • 9 years ago

Flut! Great skin! congratulations!

how I back to the original info icon's player?
Flut • 9 years ago

Hi tylerr: Tahnk you for your words/support, comments and sugestions.

1. I’m not aware of that yet, however, of course I believe in you. I don’t know why. Maybe is due to the fact that some xml pointed to various other xml….

2. I already did it. I will included in the next version.

3. I tested with my game and it seems everything goes well (could you please place a screenshot?)

4. Following your suggestion, I did it. Because the analyzer will be small I included an animation. I will included that change in the next version.

5. Yes I noticed that. As I use different logos, for my game is okay. In order to adjust it you have to go to

player overview panel.xml and search for the code:

<container width="165" height="165" alignment="left,centre_y">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="left" inset="0"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="bottom" inset="0"/>
<widget class="editable_client_object_property_panel" id="pnat" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="15"/>
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/>

You can increase the value inset=”0” and, after that you can adjust the place where is the logo, changing the value inset=”15”

6. Sorry, I think I didn’t understand this. In the player overview there is no scrolls. Could you please explain a little bit more?

Hi Insp1rat0r: I didn't understand. You want to change the colour of background boxes in the attributes?
Insp1rat0R • 9 years ago

I am really trying hard to change the atributes but I cant please help
